Hear Thy Voice No More

Verse from the gravestone of Ezekiel Parmenter

Now partner dear, farewell a while;
The time will surely come,
When we, with all the ransom'd world,
Rest in a Father's home.
Farewell Father, here we leave thee,
And we hear thy voice no more;
But in Heaven we hope to meet thee,
When life's fleeting scenes are o'er.
